Case Report: Misdiagnosis of Lung Carcinoma in Patients with Shrunken Lung Cyst After High Altitude Travel.
Article in Cancer management and research, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Lung cancer associated with cystic airspace is a rare disease, and the imaging understanding of lung cancer with cystic cavity is still unclear. Little is known in the literature on whether cystic lung cancer is caused by emphysema or ruptured bullae. Case Reports: We report the case of a 50-year-old female patient after finishing a business trip in November 2021, when another chest CT demonstrated an unexpected reduction in the cyst, with a solid mural nodule on the posterior wall. The airspace of the cyst is only about 13 mm × 12 mm × 6 mm in size. The size of the mural nodule in the posterior wall is about 10 mm × 6 mm × 5 mm. The patient felt anxious due to suspicion of lung cancer. 2.5 months after the last chest CT, she accepted minimally invasive thoracoscopic surgery on the posterior basal segment of the left lower lobe. The postoperative pathology showed benign lesions. Conclusion: For radiologists, it is important to recognize the process from lung cysts or bullae to LC-CAS, especially the morphological changes of the cyst airspace and the cyst wall, in order to identify the malignant features of lung cysts in time.
